Not personally, but theres a bloke (means 'guy' in 'merican patentcad) over at the Serotta forum who raves about them. He also appears to have more money than God as he has a new top of the line bike every other week.

Everyone, write your congressman in support of any and all military pay raises, especially increases in special pay for physicians.

Not for nothing DP, but if the military purchased bicycles they would all be $10K Serottas with $5K Lew wheels. Except of course the Pentagon would figure out a way to pay double that. If we could all be military subcontractors, we could all have Lew wheels.

It's funny, if you do this as a hobby, and have decent income from your day job, your equipment choices don't have to be economically rational.( my equipment choices being exhibit A]

But if its a business, then the money needs to be justified, hence US Division 3 teams riding stuff we wouldn't.

Even at the TDF level, its not unusual for domestics on some teams to be riding ultegra equipped bikes.
